Showing a united front, the couple held hands on stage at the Royal Albert Hall after appearing as special guests for a performance of Danny Elfman’s music from The Nightmare Before Christmas - a film which Tim wrote and produced.

The 47-year-old described the speculation as "absolute nonsense" after pictures emerged of what appeared to be the film director kissing a mystery blonde woman, adding they are very much "together" and their 12-year relationship is still going strong.
